Straight-up. on the rocks. or frozen, a good Margarita can sure hit the spot in summer. But once you’ve had the genuine drink made with fresh lime juice, like Christy and Steve Cegelski enjoyed on vacation in Mexico, you’ll decline the average Margarita made here with bar mixes full of high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors and colors, and too many calories. So the Tilton, New Hampshire couple created a better option to enjoy a handy, healthy, south-of the-border taste anytime. Their Drink Skinny Margarita Mix is made with live simple ingredients: water, lime juice. lemon juice, and the natural sweeteners agave nectar and stevia, co-packed together for them in Maine. One serving contains 40% juice and only 20 calories, sans tequila of course. You can find Drink Skinny at select NH Liquor outlet locations, specialty food stores, or online. Pull out the shaker or blender and sample for yourself. There’s also a Pineapple Mango Mix available as well as rumblings of a Pomegranate Blueberry concoction in the works. Sounds like a good summer research project!
